Etsy poses a thought-provoking question with their uterus pillow: "Worried that your uterus is too small?"
I don’t, but I imagine there are some people who do. Which is why a humongous plush version of the reproductive organ called the Utera Maxima is available on Etsy for only $12 USD. What a steal.
Trend Hunter covered another female anatomy plushie called ‘I Heart Guts’ back in June, but this particular uterus pillow puts that small plushie to shame. The Utera Maxima is 20 inches tall, 29 inches wide, and has a wing span (yes, wing span) of 69 inches.
